Been a while since we first saw this tower announced. Between this, the other tower at Curran Road mentioned the other day and the apartments on Trade Street there's going to be a bit of density in that area of town, and a bit more life added to the area.

If we also see Callaghan Square south developed and Central Quay take off over the next 5-10 years I can see the city centre genuinely spreading a bit further south.

The article says only 30 parking spaces for a 23 story tower. The planners must be bonkers. The only way to get people out of their cars is to improve the transportation system so that it’s more convenient than driving around the city. Not by limiting the legal spaces to park a car. Can you imagine what Dumballs will be like if this goes ahead with no parking allocations for the residents.

It's nuts isn't it? They make assumptions that everyone that's going to move in will work in the city centre. And what are they to do in their spare time even if most did work in the city centre, get the train and bus everywhere? The planning for these towers is seriously flawed.
